On St. John the Baptist, by Da Vinci; Amour Victorious by Caravaggio; David with the Head of Goliath, by Caravaggio: Auntie Kitty, now little old lady, straightened her lacy coaster under her warm Pepsi and told her granddaughter:
"There's a dangerous trio on the loose: the leader of the Trinidad Cartel, an adulterer/aspiring stage actor, and a murderer, involved in strapping backpacks to himself and crossing borders. They are being called the Red-Hooded Tobago Boy and His Two Little Wolves. You be careful to stay away from such boys! The first one, I'll tell you, Salome, he is an over-sexed monster. He's also known to be the largest distributor of LSD this side of the Atlantic Ocean. One day, he gave a hit to the youngest one of the bunch, the second one. He was seen standing naked outside of FAO Schwarz screaming "Ain't nobody home! What shampoo am I supposed to use? Why are you sweating so much?" Then he looked at Virgin Records and began to laugh hysterically as the neon lights began pumping their fists to the music. The 3rd one accidentally murdered his accountant in an attempt at friendship. He placed him in the bathtub and began combing his body for lice. Unfortunately, this was done with an electric shaver. Oh the horror of that fateful night! I cannot finish the story!"
"Oh, please do, grandmaman!"
"Well, then they began to accuse each other and poke each other in the chest. Somewhere along the line, one of them came up with the idea of cutting his head off, probably to shrink it and sell it as contraband, perhaps a scam for tourists. They did, but then they noticed" She hesitated.
"Do you know what a boner is? Have you had sexual relations yet?"
"Only on the very small, almost quantum, scale."
"Hmm, right, you sly little rodent. Anywho, it later that somebody had bought it and it's now located in Sierra Leone. It is kept in a sacred vessel made of tiger teeth and giraffe fur to ward off the majestic evil that surrounds it. The locals believe that one day the Man from Trinidad shall return to claim his son (the rumor is that he's his son). They have made an altar to him, and even make pilgrimages to the Cape Verde islands, where is body is believed to be. If only they knew he was really a scoundrel and a thief!"
"Ok. I shall not have any relations with them, Grandmaman."
